MWBaits Posted January 9, 2016 ID:1011592 Share Posted January 9, 2016 So, a few weeks back i had a big virus on my PC that installed other viruses on my PC and malwares such as Keyloggers and such. I heard about this program called MalwareBytes and decided to give a try. I started up my PC and nothing started up, not my Avast! or even Steam. I had to start them up manually, then i got to install MalwareBytes. It checked and cleaned my PC, and after i restarted my PC, and everything worked out perfectly. Thank you MalwareBytes, you saved my Computer and saved me over 800€. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
